Glad I could help.

Thank you. I'll do my best.

Just the peugeot is so dull and ugly especially in the flesh. the silver material around the door handles and centre console look like cheap junk from halfords and is really badly fitted and finished. The lump above the back door with the huge lump of chrome looks terrible!! and steering wheel looks nasty and cheap. I was 50/50 on both but after seeing both of them and test driving them both we picked the captur as we are still fairly young and haven't died in side like you feel looking at the 3008

***** Well, since the last post six months ago, we actually bought a 2008. The Allure with the 1.6 e-hdi 92bhp. I can say we like it very much. What we like about the 2008: - the fuel consumption. On a daily 120km commute the average fuel consumption is in the 3.2 - 3.8 l/100km area (summer vs. winter), with around 90km of 2 lane national road and 30km of very busy morning and after-noon city traffic - the interior - pleasant materials on the seats (leather and textile) and dash-board - the steering - very light and easy to park in the tightest spaces - the steering wheel - it's small, vith a good leather cover and gives a sporty feeling - the air conditioning - the fact that you can choose a different temperature for the driver or for the passenger - the Captur didn't have that - the back seats - they fold very nicely, givind a completely flat surface. We actually used this as a bed on a mountain trip and it was comfortable enough :-) - the roof bars - the Captur does not have them. - the panoramic roof :-) What we don.t like about the 2008: - the reverse light - it's positioned too low in the rear bumper and it's only on the right side. It's almost useless without the rear parkind sensors at night. - the rear window - seems to be made out of plastic and sometimes gives some weird noises when you close the boot door. - the boot door gathers a lot of dirt in the rainy days and in the winter and you always get your hands dirty when you open the boot. - the 17 inch wheels with the all-season standard tires - horrible on the city streets and country roads - we changed them for 15 inch alloys and the ride got a lot smoother. On the looks side, I think both cars have some things to like and some things to hate about. I'm 30 and my wife is 27, so I don't think the 2008 can be considered an old people's car. Our choise was based mainly on the versatility of the car... so it's a matter of satisfying one's preferences for a thing or another.

@@flibbertigibbet6200 I agree with you, Peugeot 2008 and Volkwagen Tiguan Motion (older models) and Skoda all look like granny's car, the back side is just horrendous-looking!

+Morten Bonderup Both are noisy at motorway speed, but with Vitara you get more car for the money.

+Marek Drives wow, quick answer! Well, I thought so ;) hmm, which has the best interior and rear seats in your opinion?

Morten Bonderup If you want a decent looking interior you'll have to go for top spec in both cases. Renault is a bit more fun, but Suzuki is better quality. And I think Suzuki has slightly more space.

Luke Tan I can't say, I've never driven an automatic 2008. I wouldn't expect a big difference.

I haven't driven either of the automatic diesels, so I can't say.

It's more fun, more spacious, better visibility, better interior finish (Renault fixed some problems I remember from the early 2013 Clio), clever touches, like the removable seat covers, huge glovebox, sliding bench.

A bit of both, but in the end I would choose the Captur based on its looks.

Marek Drives Thank you for your response. I have been trying to decide on one for the last 2 months.

I think it's only in this configuration.
